I wont’ go into it all right now, but I would say that bowling is definitely a sport. Now the question to ask is, is computer gaming a sport?

Major League Gaming now has an agreement with ESPN that will provide content for ESPN.com which will also include online video of various events and matches. ESPN includes bowling, billiards, darts, poker, and a bunch of other non-mainstream sports, but how far are they going to push it. Personally I would say that neither poker nor online gaming are sports, but they are competitions and for that ESPN is choosing to carry them on their network.

So, in your opinion, does this partnership make sense? Should ESPN carry Major League Gaming events on their website for now? Will it lead to them putting it on tv opposite Sunday football when they are desperate for a different target audience?

Press Release

That changed when Joey Chestnut ate 66(!!!) hot dogs in 12 minutes today to outdo Kobayashi’s 63 (The previous Nathan’s record was 54).  Since the event is on the Fourth of July many American’s have been upset about a Japanese contestant dominating the American’s and were very happy to see Joey Chestnut bring back the "Mustard Belt" to America.

The announcers today were taking themselves a little to serious though, here were a few of the quotes that had me wondering why I was watching this event.

"This could be what this country needs to get back on the right track: the mustard belt coming home to America."

"Google the word "hero" tomorrow and you’ll get Abe Lincoln and Joey Chestnut."

"This could be the greatest moment in American Sports history."
